ABSTRACT

This essay examines major approaches to interculturalism with regard of their usefullness in the field of literary studies. It is divided in three parts: The first part presents three exemplary discussions of the subject in general, which over time have become classics within the field : C.P. Snow's lectures on The Two Cultures (1959), Wolf Lepenies' Die drei Kulturen (1985), and John Brockman's The Third Culture (1995). In the second part the validity of their findings is put to a test by means of close reading of a choice of poems by the contemporary German poet Heinrich Detering (* 1959). In the conclusion, in order to strengthen the validity of an intercultural approach to the reading of modern literature, attention is turned briefly to similarities with a short story by the Korean writer and director Lee Chang-Dong.
